    • Before you fly to Turkey, you need a Turkish visa. If you applied for the Turkish Evisa via http://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ as a Kenya ordinary passport holder…you are supposed to have a round-trip ticket on Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airlines, Onur Air or Atlasglobal Airlines. If you applied for the visa the Embassy in Nairobi, then there are usually no restrictions on which airline to use.

    • Hi jacqueline, i managed to apply for my online evisa last september. Do you have a valid USA, UK, Schengen or Ireland visa? E visas are for Kenyan passport holders who hold any of the mentioned valid visas. If none you need to go for an oral interview.
